ok, now that 3.6.7 has come out im gonna start optimising nukemode for this scp release. most of the features i wanted work withing this build and features that do not will be removed untill a new offitial scp build comes out to support them. so please play the mod prerelease under this build and report anything out of the ordinary. focus primarily on ship model stability and make sure things render properly, ect. i will pic through the replys for this thread and paste bugs here for future reference to me and axem.

Known Bugs:-goober style gatling guns no longer function-GTF Pheonix crashes the game when on screen for an extended amount of time.-Anyone calling a support ship causes a crash if you're a pirate.-AI controlled PF Hellbat won't fire its gattling guns.

i dont think that 3rd one is fixable, might be an scp thing. however the new galing gun system isnt in the prerelease. once it is, it could fix that. ive completed maybe 15% of the ship recompiles nessicary for the conversion. it seems everythime i go recompile a model i end up makeing a hi-poly version of it.

the gtf phoenix was a quick recompile, i kinda sorta cut a few corners increasing the poly density of the curvy wings. and cut even more corners adding the guns. the guns there arent even part of the main moodel they are just kinda submodels, this would have been a big no-no back when i started modding, but i thought the htl engine could handel it. i guess i was wrong. so now i gotta figure that one out.

support ship crash is either a bug with ballistic weapons, or a missing dockpoint. i remember adding dockpoints to all pirate ships, but not sure if i did before i released the beta.

My hypothesis is that since the Pirates are their own species now, they do not have their own species specific support ship. Maybe if you just copy the Hygiea and have that one become a pirate support ship.

I haven't tested that out at all, so I have no idea if that will work or not.

havent thought about that, making the pirates their own spiecies seems to have been more trouble than its worth. its like when i tryed to make everything with modular tables. it might be a removed feature, i believe that i can still use the new engine glows on a per ship basis. if a feature of the scp doesnt work fully in the current offitial build, it will be removed from the mod on a temproary (untill it works fully in an offitial build) basis. but in the case of the support ship problem i might varient or an existing ship, like i did with the hellbat (considering the minimal effort i put into that ship), reskin and perhaps some gemetry tweaks of one of the other support ships. none the less il make sure the nect release has a pirate support ship. i was always under the impression that you could be rearmed by any friendly support ship in system. i remember flying an ares in one of the last missions of the game and getting a rearm from a vasudan supply ship. none the less il look into that bug some more.

im gonna upload some of the new models, there still in the test phase and they dont hve complete pof data, but they work ingame and are fairly stable. im also gonna put up some of the vwep models and new weapons to go with them.

heres the model updates, new models and textures as well as an updated hellbat and phoenix that use the new gun system. the tables are all just temps, im gonna redo everything in the tables once the models are done, with a balence curve in mind.
